Chicken

Location

Chickens are animals found wandering the wild. They are skittish and will run away if you get to close to them. Though it is possible to give chase and catch them, that is a difficult task to accomplish.

Hint: It's easier to catch a chicken if it gets trapped against an obstacle and you can then corner it.

Acquisition

There are a couple ways to acquire these furry little creatures, either way whether full health or injured you can pick these up and place them into Animal Housing and domesticate them.

Deft hands

If you are lucky enough to catch one you may find them waiting for you in your inventory:

Alive and Injured chickens can be placed in Animal Housing for domestication. Injured chickens will heal over time.

Hunting

Another way to "catch" a Chicken is to shoot it with your Hunting Bow. This often kills the creature, however on rare occasion shooting them with an Arrow will only injure them instead. Shooting them with a gun will mangle the small animal.

If an injured chicken remains in your inventory it will eventually die and become rotten. Be sure to butcher them before they are no longer safe to eat.

Cooking

Dead rabbits can be butchered for meat and cooked.

Animal Housing (domestic)

To domesticate chickens your character will need Animal Housing crafted at the BCU. The max level an animal can reach is 10.

Domesticated Chicken will yield more and higher-quality resources when butchered. Once chickens reach level 3 they will also lay an egg whenever they reach a new level.
